The scatter chart is part of Highcharts and is not currently optimized for thousands of points, on contrary to Highstock.
The Highcharts roadmap states that optimizations were due on fall 2011, but won't probably be there for the 1.0.0 release.
As a consequence, even Chrome has a very hard time displaying the chart with 100,000 points.

If optimizations can't make it on time, we can :
* perform sampling prior to building the chart (complicated)
* have a limit above which the chart is not displayed (easy)
* leave it like this (risk our poor user experience)
